It looks like it's just two Pits in the video... the black dog is definitely not a Rotti.

I agree with what one person said, I don't expect much from fast food companies.

I don't know how to explain what I think they meant by using Rottweiler and Pit Bull - I think they were trying to use irony, like it was kind of a sarcastic remark, in fact I think the whole ad is kind of sarcastic as it targets what appears to be "lower class" people. Also after watching it again, I think the dogs are not only attacking him because he's a mail man, but maybe to get his breakfast, the people portrayed in the video are chill because they understand he isn't delivering mail because he's busy with bk breakfast.

My neighbors little yappers would have been PERFECT for that commercial... they like to hang off peoples ankles and bags even if you don't carry a BK breakfast.

I'm not offended, actually, just a little amused... a fast food commercial wouldn't sway my opinion one way or the other about anything. I LOVED the Taco Bell commercials, but I have NEVER been tempted to go out and buy a chihuahua.

Oh but sooooo many people were. You underestimate the stupidity and lemming-ness of the average person...

I agree the commercial has absolutely BLOWN UP all over facebook. I mean, I'm not fond of it, but I can't really say I am all that offended. I would have rather it said, "dogs" or something not-specific. But the guy wasn't afraid, and they weren't attacking him or anything. I actually thought it was a little bit funny.

And that neither dog looked like a pittie or rottie... haha.

"It is true that Pit Bulls grab and hold on. But what they most often grab and refuse to let go of is your heart, not your arm."

I've also noticed that most of the really outraged people would happily nominate any and all other breeds for that commercial... I guess only Pit Bull people are entitled to feel wronged and be all sensitive about their breed of choice... too funny.

That's the biggest thing for me, if it had been a jack russel and a poodle in the commercial no one would be griping about it at all.

I aked my mail man about that commercial this morning, and he laughed... he has been bitten/snapped at by a chi, a yorkie, a lab, and the two extremely obnoxious russel-terror-something yappers up the street. He carries a can of mace for the not-so-friendly dogs on his route. For MY crew he carries cookies.

I have to admit that any time I see anything questionable in a commercial, tv show, movie or anything in the media that might be mistaken for a bull breed the first thing I do is think "can't you pick ANY other breed????" I know it's being over sensitive, but I'd rather have no publicity than anything that can be even the slightest bit negative.

I'm the same. I'll admit I'm overly sensitive about it, but I think for good reason.

I saw it, too... but lots of commercials are edited to a shorter version because it's cheaper to air them.

I read some of the comments on BKs FB page, and I'm almost embarrassed to be part of the Pit Bull-lover community. I do not want to be lumped in w/those hate-mongering, ignorant and uneducated BULLIES who now think they got their message across w/threats and intimidation. UGH.

I just went and looked at some of the shotgun responses people posted on their facebook. I am with you- anger can make some people totally ridiculous!!
